It should go without saying that all of site rules apply in this thread and will be enforced. That means if you feel the urge to start insulting users, or to complain about arbitrary ethnic, social, religious or racial groups in an insulting manner: don’t.

This thread is not an excuse for uncontrolled shitposting. Shitposting includes, but is not limited to:

If you link to an external source, please include a summary of its contents, especially if you are linking to a long video or audio source.

There will be opinions expressed in this thread that you will disagree with. Disagreement is not hate and it is not censorship. Reporting users who disagree with you merely because they have different ideas in their heads will not sit well with us. Likewise, any attempts to control who takes part in the thread will result in a great deal of ironic lack of participation on the part of those attempting such control.

Frankly, if you can’t stand to hear ideas that are different to your own, you shouldn’t be here in the first place.

tl;dr no insults, no ethnic/racial insults, no shitposting, no back-seat moderating. We’re not expecting a vicar’s tea party, but we do expect a certain level of self control.

I would also ask for citations or evidence if you are arguing for something that you think is correct. And no this doesn’t mean anything from fox news or msnbc or hell just about any news source. it has to come from an accredited research place with ACTUAL facts. Not just facts but also how they got the data itself.

Trump’s wall will likely not be completed for some time, since just about every construction project takes time to complete. It’ll likely take longer, too, since some of the US-Mexico border is in the mountains.

So those vouchers Seattle is using seem like a legit good idea, a way for voters to help level the playing field with big companies, for clarity, they are offering vouchers that amount to 100$ to all citizens that can be donated to the campaigns of politicians, it’s not quite a perfect solution but better than nothing,

He believes that "Cultural Marxism" is a real threat, believes that "mass migration" is class warfare against the poor, and thinks centre-left social democracy is Communism.

All this while he claims to be a centre-leftie who just wants to improve the left while he supports Hayekian and Thatcherite economics, and also supported numerous Right Wing goons like Trump, Marie Le Pen, and Theresa May. Most of his subscribers are Right Leaning as well.

I mean, if I claimed to be a Right Winger who just wanted to improve the Right, while saying the things that I do, people here would think I was fucking ridiculous. Yeah, Hypnosryan, the Right Wing Jill Stein/Melenchon/Jeremy Corbyn Supporter, imagine that.

Well the fact of the matter is that most of academia is controlled by those that believe in trigger warnings, social justice, and other things. So it is not surprising that people would feel this way. And as for the mass migration….it IS a problem not for the poor but for EVERONE if they don’t assimilate into their new "home". That is the main problem everyone has with mass migration.
